Newly qualified doctor

I’ve had several similar enquiries - newly qualified doctor, currently doing bank/locum work until they start their new job at nearby hospital.

Salary at does not meet affordability criteria. Presumably, as not yet employed, references will be a problem. I feel wary but maybe over cautious. Would be interested in other views. Thanks

They usually have a contract
Why don’t you ask to see that
Normally though the training circuit starts in August not April so why would they be newly qualified in April
